Bringg’s platform enables both small and large companies to manage their shipments accurately and optimally while allowing their customers to track the location of shipments in real time.
To do this, the company’s system can interface with the organization’s CRM systems, inventory management systems, e-commerce systems, and its proprietary delivery system or delivery company.This way, customers benefit from a single interface that controls all stages of shipping – from finding inventory, locating and operating the free courier, to coordinating the mission and updating the customer in real time on the location of the shipment. The system is running in the cloud in the SaaS model.
Bringg’s delivery logistics platform is used by leading retail, ecommerce, food, services and logistics providers in over 50 countries, including some of the world’s best-known brands such as Coca-Cola, Kimberly Clark, Panera Bread, Cdiscount and Hilti. With offices in Chicago, New York and Tel Aviv, the company plans to leverage the funding to address the growing demand for its solution by increasing its international reach and expanding teams across the company.
Bringg was founded in 2013 under the name of Overvyoo by Raanan Cohen, who serves as CEO and previously founded MobileMax, and Lior Sion, former technology vice president of Gett. The current $12 million financing round joins the previous $ 10 million raised by the company in its B round – bringing the company’s total fund raising since its inception to $22 million.
